Recovery Journey Day 3: Body Balance, Coconut Pancakes & Crispy Ribs

🌅 A Morning Full of Intention

Woke up with energy, a plan, and my yoga mat in hand. It’s Day 3 of my recovery journey, and I rolled into it with one of my faves — Body Balance #105 from Les Mills+. Honestly? It hit the spot.

This class had everything: calm stretches, powerful poses, deep breathing, and just enough burn to remind me I’m alive. I could feel the consistency kicking in — smoother transitions, better control, stronger core. Even those wobbly balance moves? Today, I nailed more of them than I missed. Progress!

I did feel a little twinge in my knee during some movements, but nothing I couldn’t handle. I stayed tuned in, adapted when needed, and kept flowing. Movement with intention — that’s the magic.

🧘🏾‍♀️ The Yoga Mat I Use

✔️ Yoga Mat – Non-slip, cushioned, and knee-friendly. Ideal for flow, stretch and mobility.

🥞 Breakfast That Feels Like a Treat

Started the day like a queen — with fluffy coconut flour pancakes and my ride-or-die sugar-free syrup.

Just 5 ingredients and BOOM — perfection on a plate. Low carb, high joy. If you think healthy has to be boring… think again.

🍖 Lunch & Dinner: Same Meal, Same Joy

Kept it easy and tasty for both lunch and dinner:

Crispy oven-baked pork ribs
Sautéed green beans

Zero stress. 100% flavor. This is my kind of meal — high protein, low carb, and no fuss. Plus, it hits the spot whether it’s noon or night.
